The person
My name is Liam Smith and I write Moss Paradox from New Zealand. I started it after a very ordinary frustration: I wanted to know whether a game at the top of the Play Store charts was actually good before installing it, and everything I could find was either a thirty-second video, a copied press release, or a list of "tips" that turned out to be folklore.
So I started keeping notes properly — how many levels I played, where I got stuck, what the game did at that moment, and which of the widely repeated tips survived contact with the actual board. Those notes became the reviews on this site.
How the reviews are made
Every game is installed from Google Play onto an ordinary mid-range Android phone and played for at least 150 levels before anything is written. No emulator, no cheat tools, no publisher-supplied build, and no money spent during the review period — because a review written by someone who bought their way past the hard levels is not a review of the game most people will play.
Screenshots shown on this site are the official ones published by each developer on their own Play Store listing, reproduced for identification and review. Ratings and install figures are quoted from the New Zealand Play Store at the time of writing and change over time.
Independence
There are no affiliate links on this site. The Google Play buttons are plain store links and earn nothing. No publisher has paid for, reviewed, or been given advance sight of anything published here. If that ever changes, it will be disclosed at the top of the page in question — not in a footnote.
What this site is not
Moss Paradox is a review blog about free casual puzzle apps. It is not a casino, does not offer gambling, betting or wagering, hosts no playable game, accepts no deposits and pays out no money or prizes. The games covered here are ordinary entertainment puzzles with optional in-app purchases and no cash prizes of any kind.
